How to Care For Oily Skin

9/30/2017

0 Comments

 
Oily skin can be a nuisance and stressful as it tends to come with a couple of disappointments that can be a pain when it comes to managing it. Adding insult to injury, some products that claim to be the best solution tend not to be of any help at all and some even make the problem worse instead of helping your oily skin. Other products may contain ingredients that aggravate the skin or trigger more oily shine.
​
However, listed below are some tips that one may easily follow in order to manage and care for oily skin.
Caring for Oily Skin

7 Tips for Managing Oily Skin

1. Cleansers
When it comes to cleansing the skin, it is advised to use mild, water-soluble cleanser two times a day; both morning and at night. The cleanser should be scented free and should not leave any residue on your skin. We also recommend against using brushes that have hard bristles because this may cause damage to the skin. In addition, one is also advised to use warm water when rinsing as hot water may end up irritating the skin. If you need help finding the right cleanser you can browse our Luminesce Skin care page and try our Youth Restoring Cleanser.

2. Toners
When it comes to toning the skin, we highly advise you use an alcohol free toner which is loaded with antioxidants as well as skin replenishing ingredients. Toners that contain the right ingredients tend to help with skin renewal as well as recharge the skin along with removing traces of makeup that may lead to the clogging of pores. The right skin toners will also minimize the appearance of enlarged pores.

3. Exfoliate
This is one of the most important steps when it comes to skin care. Oily skin usually has a tendency of accumulating dead skin on the surface, along with building a thick pore lining which can only be combated by gently exfoliating in order to diminish the buildup. We recommend that you exfoliate three times a week to help keep your skin healthy.

4. Oil Free Sunscreen
A lot traditional sunscreens tend to block pores due to the sunscreen itself having thick pores. This may increase the problem instead of helping and in addition may cause acne. A lot of skin care professionals advise to use sunscreen gels instead of creams and lotions which tend to make your skin look oilier. Some facial powders can also be used to help protect your skin from the sun.

5. Blotting Paper
Blotting papers tend to help with the minimizing of shiny, greasy skin by absorbing the excess oils on your face and are inexpensive and available over the counter so you  can easily get them. You can also carry blotting papers easily in your purse.

6. Use Masks and Cosmetic Clay
Some natural masks having combinations of products such as honey, aloe Vera, tomatoes which are of great help with the management of oily skin. They tend to also assist with acne which is normally an added disadvantage of having oily skin. You can  also opt to use cosmetic clay to help curb the oily skin as it absorbs skin oil and treats skin conditions.

7. See a Dermatologist
As much as we all like to find home solutions to our oily skin and with dozens of solutions that we have come up over time, visiting a dermatologist is also a big help as they may have treatments that work when other means fail. Most of the time it’s normally a hormonal problem and this may be easily curbed with some medications and creams that are only available from a Dermatologist.

In conclusion, oily skin is not a death sentence and doesn’t have to be stressful to manage as it can be managed.

How to Care For Black Hair

9/23/2017

Caring for Black Hair
Black hair can be very diverse and hard to manage due to being curly or bulky,  and options can vary with regard to how one wants to style their hair to look natural, relaxed or braided. Deciding how to manage, wear or style black hair can be challenging but you really have many options. We decided to focus on just six options that we believe will help you manage black hair better. However, as much as it may be flexible hair, one needs to know how to care for the hair as best as possible. The key to having beautiful, healthy hair is to moisturize and gentle treatment as black hair may easily become dry and brittle. When it comes to caring for black hair it tends to take a bit more extra effort, but the silky, soft and healthy results are worth it.

6 Tips to Help Keep Black Hair Healthy & Shiny

1. Wash the Hair Once Or Twice a Week
When it comes to washing hair many believe that washing our hair daily is healthy but studies have found that it is the opposite. When you wash your hair on a daily basis it loses the natural oils and this may end up damaging the scalp which in turn can damage the health of our hair. Washing your hair once or twice a week helps prevent dryness as well as product build up.

2. Use a Moisturizing Conditioner and Essential Oils
Essential oils such as olive oil, castor oil among others help natural hair become healthier and will help black hair look shiny. These oils are normally very good for the hair and also helps in the growth and maintenance of natural hair. They also help the natural hair become manageable while combing.
​
3. A Wide Tooth Comb
Natural black hair tends to be very bulky at times and using small toothed combs tends to be a really bad idea as this cuts your hair and will more than likely damage the hair roots. In addition, (just like washing your hair) one should avoid combing the hair on a daily basis. You can simply comb your black hair using their hands but if you must comb your hair every day - use a wide tooth comb.
Combing Black Hair

4. Avoid Heat Styling As Much As Possible
When it comes to natural hair, most can be managed while still wet which will also help you keep your hair healthy. If it’s styling of Bantu knots you can easily tie them without having to straighten the hair. However, if heat is required we recommend that you use very low heat to help keep your hair from getting damaged.

5. Avoid wearing High-Stress Hairstyles for prolonged Periods
We all love creating tight pony tails and tight braids because they look amazing; however, they tend to place a lot of stress on your hair that can cause damage. With time, the hair tends to create crimps and can breakage in the hair as well as loss of hairline. This can also bring about the thinning of follicles which may lead to thinning along the hairlines. Although braiding your hair on occasion is certainly fine for short periods of time but we recommend that you don't make this a habit.

A better solution if you love these styles is using protective techniques when doing cornrows, braids or even weaves that don’t necessarily have to hurt. As a rule of thumb,  if it hurts when you braid your hair then you know that it is too tight and is damaging your hair. You should also avoid the use of rubber bands while styling hair as they can damage the hair as well. We advise using a pony tail holder without a metal clip.

6. Opt for Sewn-In Weaves to glued-in weaves
The sewn-in weaves tend to be better as one doesn’t have to use the glue when it comes to the attachment of the weaves. The glued-in weaves tend to easily rip out of your hair when it's being removed, thus causing more damage to the hair.
​
In conclusion, black hair is not impossible to manage with these techniques. All hair is different and some people have really thick hair, others are curly - all have their own uniqueness.

Working Moms who Stay Home

Tips on Working from Home

Being a mom is tough and being able to work from home has not only become easier in today's world, but it's almost mandatory for families to survive. There are never enough hours in the day for a 21st century mom to do everything that is needed. Due to this network marketing becomes a natural choice for moms who want to stay home with the kids and have an opportunity to earn some extra money.  In this article we provide great tips on how to have a productive day while also getting the needs of the kids taken care of along with other household necessities such as grocery shopping, house cleaning and more. 


5 Quick Tips for getting more accomplished throughout the day

We realize that the most important thing for working moms is to have a work-life balance and we keep this in mind making it your top priority. It's obviously important to consider that you can’t take care of others if you’re not taking care of yourself as well.

Learn some strategies on creating a work/life balance.


  1. Making the most of all the tools available in Jmobile™ allows you to save tons of time in the day! Jmobile™ Prospector tool helps Jeunesse Global members manage their leads and contacts so that they know what they have done and what they need to do. Setting reminders for yourself to follow up with Hot Customers, and using the messages that we have already wrote for you will allow you to quickly reach out and keep records of every prospect that you have touched or need to follow up on.                                                                                  
  2. We encourage everyone to use the “Pomodoro technique” of time management to help everyone keep focus and get more accomplished. Pomodoro is a very popular and effective technique of putting your task on a timer and focusing on that specific task with no interruptions until the timer goes off.  So if the baby is put down for a nap - setting your timer for 1 hour while you speed dial your prospects can be very effective. During this time be sure to turn off the television and not check Facebook or any other social media and just focus on the task with no distractions. When completed take a short break and do it again.                                            
  3. Never leave the home to accomplish just one to do on your busy list - get multiple things done when you hit the road. In addition, always try to include a stop to a new prospect or team member who needs extra help. Include your business needs in every trip that you can. One example could be if you need to run to the grocery store - stop and drop off business cards at that nail salon you have seen a dozen times. Introduce yourself to everyone you meet while you are out and extend your network. When you offer your card also get their cards and add them to your growing contact list.                                                                                                                             
  4. No matter how much Jeunesse Global members work or what they have chosen for a career, we believe that taking care of yourself and your family comes first. However, this is a multi-task world and building in your business with your daily activities can make a big difference between being successful and just getting by.                       ​                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
  5. The most important thing is to have fun with your networking including your business travels. Attend all of the Jeunesse live events and attend often. Jeunesse has incredible events that are conveniently located near incredible vacation destinations, so when a member attends, be sure you enjoy the benefits that go with a attending an event and enjoy the popular destination areas.

Health benefits of Cucumbers
Cucumbers are actually one of the best plants that Mother Nature could have produced and the health benefits are numerous. Cucumbers stem from the same family as watermelon and pumpkin which are also great for you. Cucumbers are made of mostly water (up to 95%) hence, anyone can easily eat them and stay hydrated throughout the day. As a health blog we encourage a happy and healthy lifestyle and it's always great when a food is as delicious as a Cucumber and healthy for you at the same time. Listed below are some health benefits of eating cucumbers.

9 Reasons Cucumbers should be part your Diet

I. Protects the Brain
Cucumbers tend to contain anti-inflammatory flavonol known as fisetin that plays an important role in brain health. In addition, fisetin has been found to improve impairments in Alzheimer’s as well as prevent progressive memory. Protecting your brain health is important to ensure you live a happy and healthy life.

II. Reduced Risk Of Cancer.
Cucumbers also tend to contain polyphenols which has shown to help in lowering the risk of various cancers such as breast, ovarian, uterine and prostate cancer. Until there is a cure for cancer any food or supplement that reduces the risk of this killer disease should be considered for part of the diet. 

III. Fighting Inflammation
As teenagers and adults grow inflammations starts happening more consistently. Medications can be used but food can help as well. Cucumbers help in curbing unwanted inflammations in the body and can be use in the treatment of acne as they tend to inhibit the activity of pro-inflammatory enzymes.

IV. Antioxidant Properties
Cucumbers tend to contain many antioxidants, including the most known vitamin C and bet-carotene. In addition, cucumbers also tend to contain other flavonoids such as apigenin which provide additional benefits. Some flavonoids also tend to help fight cancer as well as reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease.

V. Freshens One’s Breath
Yes, cucumbers actually help one maintain a fresh and clean breathe all day long. One can simply place a cucumber slice on the roof of the mouth hence, helping get rid of odor-causing bacteria hence, one’s mouth remains fresh and clean. In addition, according to principles of Ayurveda, apparently it had been proven the consumption of cucumbers tends to help in the release of heat in the stomach which is said to be the main cause of bad breath. Hence, with this one is able to kill two birds with one stone.

VI. Manages Stress
Stress has become an unfortunate part of daily life and fighting stress is difficult. Between the job, kids and other influences - getting relief for stress improves your health. Cucumbers are said to contain multiple B vitamins i.e. vitamin B1, vitamin B5 as well as vitamin B7. These B vitamins are also known to help ease the felling of anxiety and buffer some damaging effects of stress.

VII. Supports one’s digestive health
Cucumbers are known to be one of the richest and healthiest sources of both water and fiber. The addition of cucumber to one’s juice or salad may help meet the ideal amount of fiber that one needs. Eating cucumbers may help in managing acid reflux. In addition, cucumber skins also contain insoluble fiber, which adds bulk to one’s stool and helps food move through one’s digestive tract quicker for a healthy elimination.

VIII. Maintains a Healthy Weight
Cucumbers tend to have very minimal calories, yet are very filling when it comes to eating them. The fiber contained in the cucumbers tends to dissolve into a gel-like texture in one’s gut which then slows down one’s digestion. Hence, making one stay full for longer and is one of the reason that most fiber-rich foods may help with weight control.

IX. Support Heart Health
In addition, they also contain potassium which is normally associated with the lowering of blood pressure levels. Potassium is crucial to one’s body when it comes to proper functioning of the body. It helps in controlling of the nerve impulse transmission, heart function as well as muscle contraction.
